Alaska Statewide


Commercial Fishing and Seafood Processing Facts As Alaskas largest private-sector employer, commercial fishing and seafood processing is a major contributor to employment and wages. The fishing industry employs tens of thousands of individuals producing billions of pounds of seafood for the US and the world. Commercial fishing permit holders represent small and family-owned business, supporting dozens of other services businesses such as hardware and marine suppliers, fuel, accountants, air and water travel, shipping, boat builders, hatcheries, restaurants, scientists, educators, and administrators. The seafood industry provides Alaskans with critical access to local seafood through restaurants, grocery stores, and fish markets.

..Virtually every business in Alaska benefits from commercial fishing dollars.....

Key Statistics for 2015: The seafood industry is Alaskas largest private sector employer creating over 63,000 direct jobs throughout the state. 8 Commercial fishing permit holders live in 189 communities throughout Alaska. 1 In Alaska, 1-in-7 residents are employed by the seafood industry. 9 Alaska resident active commercial fishing permit holders: 7,0891 Percent of Alaska resident active commercial fishing permit holders: 72%1 Alaska resident active commercial fishing permits: 9,5401 Percent of Alaska resident active commercial fishing permits: 71%2 Alaska commercial fishing full-year resident crewmember licenses: 10,5633 Alaska licensed commercial fishing vessels registered to Alaska owners: 7,5364

Alaska Seafood Industry Taxes and Fees to State, Local and Federal Government in depth

State Department of Revenue Fisheries Taxes: Fisheries Business Tax total FY 2013 = $44,245,752 Fisheries Business Tax is levied on persons who process or export fisheries resources from Alaska. The tax is based on the price paid to commercial fishers or fair market value when there is not an arms length transaction. Fisheries business tax is collected primarily from licensed processors and persons who export fish from Alaska. Fisheries Resource Landing Tax FY 2013 = $13,381,669 Fishery Resource Landing Tax is levied on fishery resources processed outside the 3-mile limit/federal waters and first landed in Alaska, or any processed fishery resource subject to sec. 210(f) of the American Fisheries Act. The tax is based on the unprocessed value of the resource, which is determined by multiplying a statewide average price (determined by Alaska Department of Fish and Game data) by the unprocessed weight. The Fishery Resource Landing Tax is collected primarily from factory trawlers and floating processors which process fishery resources outside of the state's 3-mile limit and bring their products into Alaska for transshipment. The above taxes are shared with half going to the state general fund and half going to communities and boroughs, as described on pages 36 -39 in the Annual Report, available for download at: http://www.tax.alaska.gov/programs/sourcebook/index.aspx. Note that Department of Revenue Sources Book lists only the amount retained by the state on these taxes, while the Annual Report lists the complete amount received. Other Department of Revenue fisheries taxes and their FY2013 contributions include: Seafood Marketing Assessment = $9,563,546

The Seafood Marketing Assessment is levied at a rate of 0.5% of the value of seafood products processed first landed in, or exported from Alaska.

Salmon Enhancement tax = $8,454,033 Salmon Enhancement Tax is levied on salmon caught or sold in an established aquaculture region. This tax is collected by licensed processors and is based on the price paid for the salmon. Fishers that sell to unlicensed buyers or that export from an established aquaculture region must pay the tax directly to the department.

Seafood Development = $1,795,302 Seafood Development Tax is a voluntary tax elected by participants in some regions, and is levied on salmon harvested by set gillnet fishers in Prince William Sound (PWS) and drift gillnet harvesters in Bristol Bay and PWS. The 1% tax is collected by licensed buyers and is based on the price paid for the salmon. Harvesters who sell to unlicensed buyers or who export from Alaska must pay the tax directly to the department.

Dive Fishery Management = $772,526 Dive Fishery Management Assessment is levied on geoducks, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers harvested in the Southeast dive region. The tax is collected by licensed buyers and is based on the price paid for the resource. Dive fishers that sell to unlicensed buyers in or export from Alaska must pay the tax directly to the department.

Total Department of Revenue listed contributions FY 2013 = $78,212,828 Descriptions are from http://www.tax.alaska.gov/programs/programs/index.aspx?60620 . More information about these tax programs may be found in the Tax Division Annual Report, online for download at http://www.tax.alaska.gov/programs/sourcebook/index.aspx .

City and Borough Raw Fish Taxes are levied in many localities and are listed online by DCCED in the Alaska Taxable database annual report, totaling $25.4 million in FY 2013. The full report and tables are online at http://commerce.alaska.gov/dnn/dcra/OfficeoftheStateAssessor/AlaskaTaxableDatabase.aspx (see both Tables 02: Borough Sales Taxes, Special Taxes and Revenues, and Table 02: Cities' Sales Taxes, Special Taxes and Revenues. Note that some cities include fisheries in severance taxes, in addition to the raw fish taxes listed in the tables. The above total estimate was provided by McDowell group).

Community Development Quota royalties to community development CDQ royalties for community development were estimated at $73.1M in 2013 by NOAA. CDQ groups receive royalty payments on each allocation harvested by a partnering firm. Since the CDQ Program was implemented, individual groups have used royalty revenue to support the goals of the CDQ Program. Royalty revenues support CDQ projects, which encourage sustainable fishery-based economic development in the region or promote the social development of a community or group of communities that are participating in a CDQ Program (e.g., infrastructure development, employment and training programs). See Royalties beginning on page 7 at http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/cdq/ CFEC permit and vessel fees: Commercial Fishing Permit revenue from FY 2014 = $6,882,300 Commercial Fishing Vessel License revenue from FY 2014 = $678,400. The Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission administers permitting for commercial fishing and commercial fishing vessels. Commercial fishery entry permits and Crew license fees include a mandatory fee that is transferred to the Fishermens Fund, administered by the Department of Labor, which provides for medical coverage up to $10,000 for treatment of injuries occurring in commercial fishing. Under 20 AAC 05.245, permit renewal fees are based on a formula of 0.4% of the estimated market value of the permit for limited fisheries and 0.4% of the estimated average gross earnings for open-access fisheries. Permit renewal fee categories for 2013 & 2014 ranged from $75 to $3,000 with the majority being $375 or less Total revenue for fiscal year 2014 (July 1, 2013 June 30, 2014) was comparable to that in 2013 and was just over $7.6 million, which fully funded the Commissions $4,389.2 authorized operating budget as well as paying CFECs contribution to the Fishermens Fund. During both years, the legislature applied the additional CFEC revenues to ADF&G and DCCED programs that support Alaskas commercial fisheries. (CFEC Annual report 2013-2014 p. 31, online at www.cfec.state.ak.us/mnu_Annual_Reports.htm) Breakout of permit and vessel fees was provided by the Commercial Fishery Entry Commission. Fishermens fund: FY2014 income was $1,145,314 and expenses were $1,342,611 http://labor.state.ak.us/wc/ffund.htm. CFEC also contributed excess revenue of $362,300 in FY 2014 to the Fishermens Fund (these numbers were obtained by request from the Commercial Fishery Entry Commission https://omb.alaska.gov/ombfiles/16_budget/Transition/FY15_MP_Binder_FG.pdf. Crew license fees: Crew licenses are administered by ADFG and include: resident and non-resident adult, child and seven day licenses. Crew license revenue from calendar year 2013 sales was $2,644,875. www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=licensevendors.statistics Marine Fuel Taxes: The state fuel tax for marine use is $.05 per gallon. State marine fuel tax revenue in FY 2013 was $5,560,885 total statewide (From 2013 Tax Division annual report). We estimate at least half of marine fuel purchased in Alaska is used in commercial fisheries. Revolving Loan Program Earnings: The Division of Economic Development, Financing Section, administers and services ten loan programs under the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development. These programs were primarily designed to promote economic development through direct state lending in industries and areas of the state that are not adequately serviced by the private sector. Fisheries loan programs include Commercial Fishing, Fisheries Enhancement, Mariculture and Community Quota Entity. Information on each is available online at http://commerce.state.ak.us/dnn/ded/FIN/LoanPrograms.aspx Fisheries Enhancement Revolving Loan Fund earnings FY14 - $1,889,000 Commercial Fisheries Revolving Loan Fund earnings FY14 - $4,097,000 Community Quota Entity Loan Fund FY14 - $5,000 Mariculture Loan Fund FY14 $31,000 Total Commercial Fishing related loan program revenues FY14 - $6,022,000 (These numbers were obtained by request from the Division of Economic Development.)

DNR Lease Fees Shore Fishery Leases: As manager of most of the state's tidelands out to the three-mile limit, the Department of Natural Resources issues shore fishery (setnet) leases. A shore fishery lease gives the leaseholder first priority to use a shore fishery site for commercial salmon setnet fishing on state-owned tidelands. In FY 2014, DNR collected $344,256 in shore fishery lease fees (provided by the Department of Natural Resources). Information on the shore fishery lease program is online at: http://dnr.alaska.gov/mlw/shore/. DNR also administers permitting and collects fees for moorage buoys used in fisheries. Uplands and Tidelands leases: Alaskas hatcheries and processing plants in many cases obtain land use rights through Uplands and Tidelands leases with the DNR. A breakout of these fees specific to the fishing industry was not available. Aquatic farm leases: DNR administers the Aquatic Farming Program, a ten-year property right granted by the Division of Mining, Land & Water that allows a lessee to develop the state's tide and submerged lands into a shellfish or sea plant farm. The current fee schedule for aquatic farmsites is $450 for the first acre or portion thereof, plus an additional $125 per acre, or portion thereof, paid annually. We were unable to obtain yearly revenue from the aquatic farming lease program. Information on the program is online at http://dnr.alaska.gov/mlw/aquatic/index.cfm. Corporate income tax: Processor and harvester corporations are subject to the states corporate income tax on Alaska taxable income. Alaska taxes corporate income at graduated rates ranging from 0% to 9.4% divided over ten tax brackets. According to a recent Department of Revenue estimate provided to the McDowell Group, fisheries related corporations paid $2.8 million in corporate income tax in FY2013. Hatchery Cost Recovery: In addition to the Enhancement tax collected by Department of Revenue from commercial fisheries, hatchery facilities and production of salmon for commercial, sport, personal use and subsistence use is funded by cost recovery fisheries, where a portion of the catch is sold to fund the hatchery operation. Estimated cost recovery values from the most recent (2013) annual report: Chinook - $1,972,358 Sockeye - $2,176,205 Coho - $2,138,285 Pink - $8,174,581 Chum- $9,888,820 Total 2013 Hatchery Cost Recovery ex-vessel value: $24,350,249 Calculated from cost recovery percentage statistics by species from ADF&G annual hatchery report, online at http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fishingHatcheriesOtherInfo.reports. ADF&G Test Fisheries: Test fisheries provide additional revenue to ADFG through the sale of fish caught in test fisheries needed to determine harvestable stock thresholds ADFG received $2,843,500 in FY2014 (obtained from 2014 Transition document). Other taxes and fees to state and local governments: In addition, commercial fishing individuals and businesses pay many fees that support local infrastructure. We are unable to quantify the following:

Local Property Taxes Dock and harbor fees, launch ramp fees, boat storage, etc. Processors/direct marketers DEC permits and fees Processors/direct marketers DOR license included in Fisheries Business tax receipts Shellfish water quality, PSP and arsenic testing fees

7

Federal Fisheries Taxes and Fees: IFQ Cost Recovery fees: Federal Individual Fishery Quota (IFQ) programs are funded through an assessment on the landings in the Halibut, Sablefish, Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands crab, and the rockfish program. Fees from calendar year 2013 were provided by [email protected]: Halibut and Sablefish IFQ $4,961,857 Crab Rationalization Program $1,558,426 Rockfish Program $217,709 Total - $6,737,992 (2013) For a description of halibut and sablefish - see Publications - IFQ Cost Recovery Program Report available at http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/ram/ifqfees.htm Observer Program Fees: $4,251,452 (2013) Many Alaska commercial fisheries require observers to ensure adherence to regulations and allowable harvest. These programs are administered by NOAA and are detailed in the Observer program annual report, online at: www.alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/sustainablefisheries/observers/annualrpt2013.pdf Employment Security Tax: $14,682,000 Unemployment taxes are a federal tax program administered by the State Department of Labor. Fishing operations with less than 10 crewmembers are excluded under Alaska law when the crew is paid on a share basis; however tender operations and fish processing wages, however, are reportable. In 2013, private seafood processing firms paid a total of $392,461,000 in wages and $14,682,000 in unemployment taxes to the states Employment Security Division (provided by Conor Bell, Alaska Department of Labor). For more information on Employment Security tax see the Alaska Employment Security Tax handbook, online at http://www.labor.state.ak.us/estax/taxbook.htm. Other federal fees and taxes for which we were unable to obtain numbers for include vessel documentation fees, fishery endorsements, federal fuel taxes and more.
